If you’re a forward-thinking person with a creative knack for developing plans to improve our overall quality of life, Audi invites you to put your ideas to the test in the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge. The most tech-savvy individual who isn’t afraid to use social media to promote the greatness of their concept (and who happens to be a fan of “Iron Man 2” starring Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark) can make a real difference in the world and win Tony Stark-caliber prizes including a racetrack experience with the Audi R8 Spyder (no auto loans required).
